I moved this blog to www.glow3d.com/blog. New blog is built on Wordpress and hosted on the same site as www.glow3d.com. I think Wordpress is more convenient and  if you interested, please subscribe to www.glow3d.com/blog.

SSAO: First steps

Today's results - fancy Screen Space Ambient Occlusion!
It searches pixel's surroundings to check pixel's occlusion, after
that blurs results and blends with the screen.

Video with a water:


Some additional effects like Light Scattering (God rays ) remains to implement
and I can finally start work on the game!

Finally water!

First stage of water with reflection and refraction in Glow engine. Plus HDR, Antialiasing, Color Corrections and Gamma Corrected (Linear) Rendering.

New day - new picture with house )

Playing with combination of atmospheric scattering, light
intensity, dynamic sun and time of day.

Atmospheric Scattering

Atmospheric Scattering was added (restored) today. It's dynamic and renders beautiful sunsets and dawns. Special values added to Scene properties - Time of the Day (0..24, in hours), Length of the day ( in hours ).

HDR finally done

fuuuf .. 4 months without updates.

I returned to HDR, finally cracked it. It's probably
not so very efficient now, and I will return to it later.
It uses 64bit float render targets, bloom, all standard.

Current state of editor.. several tasks to finish alpha version..
